Text: | Lord, let us feel that Thou art near |
Translator: | John Brownlie |
Lord, let us feel that Thou art near,
And while we pray, in mercy hear;
Crown with Thy love the opening year;--
Have mercy, Lord.
Of Thy benignity, we pray,
Thy gracious Spirit grant alway,
Our strife and discord to allay;--
Have mercy, Lord.
May peace our inmost soul possess,
And in our lives our converse bless,
With unaffected kindliness;--
Have mercy, Lord.
Our sinful past we here repent,
With tears our wayward course lament,
Now, let Thy pardoning grace be sent;--
Have mercy, Lord.
103
As seasons come, Good Lord, ordain
That we the fruits of earth obtain,
Send us the sunshine and the rain;--
Have mercy, Lord.
With strength Thy Holy Church endue,
The anger of her foes subdue,
The offerings of Thy grace renew;--
Have mercy, Lord.
